Remember that when your dog is not at a designated off-leash area, it should be leashed when in public.
This helps protect the local wildlife and habitats that your tax dollars already pay for. It's the law - officers are on patrol enforcing park rules and issuing fines:
Off-leash violation - $25 to $50
Unlicensed pet violation - $125 to $250
General civil penalties - $50 to $1,000
It helps keep other dogs and visitors, particularly children, safe.
